In film, film grammar is defined as follows:
- A shot is a single continuous recording made by a camera. It is analogous to a word.
- A scene is a series of related shots. It is analogous to a sentence. The study of transitions between scenes is described in film punctuation.
- A sequence is a series of scenes which together tell a major part of an entire story, such as that contained in a complete movie. It is analogous to a paragraph.
